How I go from day to night with my makeup

Excuse the messy room please! I just quickly wanted to mention how I easily transition my makeup from day to night.

Bourjois Volume Glamour Max Mascara, Ponds BB cream, Lorac Pro Palette, Top Shop Blush in Rose, MAC Paintpot in Painterly, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yoghurt, Illamasqua Blush in Disobey, Maybelline Colour Whisper in

 Above are the products I used for my daytime look at the office. Simple stuff and an easy base to go to at night. Cream products are easy to apply powder over the top of and a good base like painterly and yoghurt will mean that further eyeshadow application with go on smoothly and remain crease free.

 I then went in with my night time look. As you can see I really amped up my features with a defined brow, lots of mascara, liner and a heavy application of lipstick rather than a sheered out colour. To last all night I also went in with a powder and a concealor under the eyes. Below are the products I used to go back in with my makeup.

Top Shop blush in Rose, The Balm blush in Hot Mama, MAC Mineralize Skin Finish in Soft and Gentle, Illamasqua blush in Disobey, MAC Brow Fluidline in Redhead, MAC Studio Finish Concealor in NC15, Maybelline Gel Liner in Charcoal, LORAC Pro Palette Shadows in Cream, Mauve and Champagne, Wet N Wild Color Icon Eyeshadow Collection second shade on the left down, NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Yoghurt, Maybelline Color Whisper in and NYX lip pencil in.

Daily Makeup Look: Green Eyes

It looks like my skin is expressing one emotion and one emotion only: pure anger.

Yep, it's nasty and I am disheartened as I thought my skin was getting clearer each and everyday. Back to the drawing board for me. I wanted a medium coverage foundation look with minimal contouring and blush. I was also in the mood for some lime green eyes. Let's see how I went..

I was in a rush so my eyes/brows aren't perfect but that's okay. I'm all about fast, everyday looks that are EFFECTIVE. You might be surprised that I didn't use any concealer, just a medium coverage foundation with powder. It's the new Revlon Nearly Naked foundation and I am a fan! Watch this blog as a review is coming soon.

My First Face of the Day!

Are you ready? Am I ready?! It's the first time I'm showing my face here!

Yep that's me. Transparent lashes, stubborn pimples that won't go away and uneven brows! I had an awful threading experience with a particular lady that had no idea what she was doing. Epic sad times and I am STILL trying to grow them out to where they once were. In terms of my skin, it's not sensitive and I would describe it as "normal". My mild acne is hormonal and is affected greatly by birth control (might go further into detail on that in another post).

I went and saw 100 Bloody Acres at Cinema Nova in Melbourne. It was actually pretty good! Definitely some Aussie humour thrown into a very professionally filmed movie (I was surprised, sometimes the Aussie ones miss that). It's said to be a horror/comedy film and whilst the story line might have a horror twang to it, it wasn't actually that scary. So if you're a horror detester (like myself) don't let that throw you!

I used Bioderma to clean up my skin a little bit, argan oil (review coming soon!) to moisturise and Nude By Nature's Professional Airbrush Mineral Primer to prime. I'm not head over heels with this primer but I needed one that was water based so it would work well with my Illamasqua Skin Base in the shade 02. That's the second lightest (lightest being white). I also used the Essence 16 hour concealer in the lightest shade to hide blemishes.

Used MAC's Mineralise Skin Finish in Lightscapade as a highlight, The Balm's blush in Hot Mama as a blush and Rimmel's Natural Bronzer in Sun Bronze 022 as a contour.

I used Inglot's AMC Eyeliner Gel in 76 as a base for my eyelid. I don't recommend this at all!! My liner actually transferred onto my eyelid. So sad! I then used MAC studio finish concealer in NC15 from crease to brow as Inglot's white is very pigmented and looked a little silly on my brow bone. Going all over the lid I used Australis' 10 hour wear pencil in Bombtastic Bomb, followed by Silly shadow. Sleek  and Sultry was used in the crease with Serious as a liner. 

Brows were filled in with Prestige's eyebrow kit in Light - Medium. Lips were lined using Essence's lip liner in 07 Cute Pink followed by Rimmel Apocalips in Nova. I wrote a review on it here.
